Simulation and Modeling Tools enable 3D MEMS Systems

One of the main themes of last week’s MEMS Executive Congress was to “think outside the chip” (Roger Grace, of Roger Grace Associates) and rather, think of MEMS in terms of the system. However, to do that, there needs to be interaction between everyone involved in developing said system, including the MEMS designer, IC designer, the system architecture and the firmware that ties it all together.
